Re: Pokemon game..have you seen anyone playing it?

I know there's been so much talk about this, all week. But I take a 60-90 minute walk every day, plus I do errands around the general area where I live.

I haven't seen anyone who looks like they're involved in this.  

This afternoon, I was in the downtown area and decided to keep an eye open for anyone who might be playing the game, looking for something...etc.  I saw nothing.

I'm starting to think this is all so overblown.

No.  I can walk into walls without any aid at all.  lol

Re: Pokemon game..have you seen anyone playing it?

We were at a city outdoor sculpture park on monday, and dozens of people were stumbling all over the place, staring at their screens and paying no attention to where -- or into what or whom -- they were walking. It was annoying and dangerous. We saw a guy almost walk out in front of a car on one of the busy streets bordering the park. Ridiculous.

yes, my own adult kids and a few adult kids on the street.

i made them give me a few turns also. lol.....i did catch a few!

you do NOT have to keep staring at your phone screen either the entire time......when a character is nearby the phone will vibrate and let you know.

Yes, I saw someone capture one tonight and I watched on his phone as he did it.  The Pokemon was sitting on a bench right on my friend's shoulder.

Sometimes I feel like I'm one of the few people left in America that has a job to go to.

Sometimes I feel like I live in one of the only places in this country, where none of the characters are hiding!

Yes, I saw a group of people yesterday with their phones out when I was at the mall.
